Senate hearing on Willingham case carried live

The Senate Criminal Justice Committee hearing on the Texas Forensics Commission investigation into the arson techniques used in the Cameron Todd Willingham case will be carried by livestream from the Senate today at 10 a.m.:

Willingham was executed in 2004 for an arson that killed his three daughters in 1991. Arson experts now say arson could not be proven in Willingham’s case, though they also admit it cannot be ruled out. Anti-death penalty advocates say Texas executed an innocent man.

Gov. Rick Perry recently created a national controversy over the case when he replaced three members of the forensics commission, temporarily derailing their investigation of the arson techniques used in the Willingham case.
